Fried Green Tomatoes

Analysis: Fried Green Tomatoes In “Fried Green Tomatoes” a woman named Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) is going through a mid-life crisis. She gains strength through a story told by Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy). The story takes place in a small town in Alabama called Whistle Stop. The story is filled with good drama, comic relief, murder, cannibalism, and a star studded cast of award winning actresses such as Jessica Tanndy, Kathy Bates, and Cicely Tyson. …

…stories of Ruth and Idggy, and Evelyn and Mrs. Threadgoode. The most interesting thing is, how much different each character was, but they all seemed to fit together perfectly. The use of flashbacks really helped bring you into the story of Ed and Evelyn’s relationship, and Evelyn’s journey for strength. One thing that I thought it lacked was costumes. I didn’t get the sense that the close Idggy wore, matched the time.
